Title: Question About Michael
Post by: Chronic Apathy on March 07, 2012, 03:40:57 PM
Does Michael (Ki)'s ability only count towards silver enhancements played on him, or any good enhancements played while in battle?

All Good enhancements played in battle.

I disagree, you can't play other color enhancements with him (with a few exceptions of course) you're playing them with what I assume is the banded hero.

Despite lp's hatred, he is correct.

Thanks. That what I thought, I just wanted to double check.

Wouldn't he say "on Mike" in that case?  My assumption is that "with" means that while that ability is active, that enhancements (played on heroes that are "with" Mike) are CBN.

Played With:
See Played By
Quote
Played by

Some cards in Redemption® make reference to a special ability being ‘played by’.  The phrase ‘played by’ refers to cards played directly on the holder’s character(s) in battle.  It does not refer to cards played by another player.

While I'd like to agree with SomeKittens, I don't think it should. Only silver and multicolored enhancements should be protected by Michael.

"Played with" and "Played By" are synonymous. A blue enhancement is not "played by" Michael. As the REG quote you supplied says, it has to be played directly on the character with the "played by" requirement. (It has the possible plural only in case it says something like "played by a Genesis Hero" and multiple such Heroes are in battle.)

Tim Mkxksjaiski is correct. And that picture is excellent.

Thanks. Many points to whomever can tell me from where it originates. And I'm glad I didn't go with this (http://www.golden-road.net/gg/albums/whosgotgame/3strikes/strk5.jpg) instead.

Be more specific? I mean, these are "big points" on the line.

And so it's not 100% off-topic, the Angel Wars Michael has the phrase "used by", which is the same as "played with." Just for completeness.

She's telling cookie monster "No" when he wants to eat his cookie, and cookie monster brutally attacks her (thus the shocked look at this normally placid puppet's outburst of violence), and to stay on topic, he calls her "Michael" mispronouncing her real name "Michelle"??  :P

All the Mikes have the same ability, and Mike only makes Enhancements that are played on him in battle CBN.
